The Resort is gorgeous but the drinks... - Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele Bay

The resort is great. I made the mistake of ordering drinks at the pool bar. They were awful. They really shouldnt be advertising they sell smoothies because that is syrup water and it tastes disgusting. The coconut mint refresher was mainly club soda and melted ice :(. The female bartender was unfriendly to top it off. The view was great though. I live on Maui so it's a nice change.

This was our third stay at this property, and it is better than ever. So unbelievably gorgeous- and staff is uniformly superb. They constantly went above and beyond to make our stay magnificent.

No desire was too big or too small for them to accommodate. For example, at check in we received a great room upgrade for the length of our stay. Then later, we were told our whale watching boat excursion had been cancelled because my husband and I were the only ones registered for it, and a minimum of six passenger bookings were required. When we expressed our disappointment, the hotel bought out the excursion, just so we could go.

Even though renovations were ongoing and the sister Four Seasons resort on the Island was closed, our stay was a dream. The renovated rooms make every room a fantasy suite!

My wife and I spent quite a bit of time here during a recent visit to Lanai. The entrance to this place is beautiful and breathtaking....the grounds are green and lush with local plants and beautiful flowers. It must take millions of gallons of precious water to keep it all going. For an island that is struggling with its water supply (Lanai is building desalination plants to mitigate the lack of fresh water) this seems irresponsible. But also unnecessary. The landscape designers could have embraced the dry, desert-like microclimate and run with it, creating an equally enticing and beautiful environment.

There are many strolling places around the hotel with Manele Bay, Puu Pehe and Fisherman's trail all near the hotel. There is a public beach less than a five minute walk form the pool. It is swimmable but has a wicked shore break that can be dangerous unless one is familiar with these sort of conditions.

I cannot say enough about this resort. Absolutely the best that I've stayed at by far. The staff is impeccable, the rooms spectacular, food unbelievable, views to die for! We were completely spoiled!! If I have anything bad to say - it would be if your visiting other islands - do this one last because you won't enjoy the other islands after being so spoiled on this one!

Wow, thank you for your review. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us and are delighted that you enjoyed everything from our team to your room and dining. We completely agree that Lanai is the perfect island to end your stay in Hawaii! Mahalo again and we look forward to welcoming you back.

A Hui Hou,

If you're seeking peace and quiet in a secluded Hawaiian location, this is it. The Four Seasons Resort, Manele Bay offers spectacular views with easy access to the beach. The pool is positioned for terrific ocean views from above. The island offers two world-class golf courses with including the one next-door to the hotel. The restaurants are excellent and the service, as you can imagine, is great.

This is Hawaii without the tourists and chaos. However if you're looking for even a sliver of nightlife, you won't find it on Lana'i.

The resort is a lovely physical plant and the people on the island are very nice.Yet a new owner took over and raised prices double what they use to be .Therefore the resort we feel is not worth the entry price of a 900 dollar price tag .We have the freedom to travel and can afford beautiful resorts but recognize the limitations of this island and resort. Even if they do outstanding renovations: the hotel is so isolated ,,no resturants outside the few at hotel. Also the resort allows so many outside guests who are members of the hotel and home owners to use the gym and pool you do not feel it is an exclusive private resort . Additionally the beach is a public beach that many locals and campers come to swim. In Maui and Kona you can get a variety of beautiful resorts with variety of dining options at half the price with great golf with something for everyone.Most of my friends who have gone booked 1 or two nights to try out 4 seasons lanai because they were golfers.They now stay on Maui for a week when they vacation and take the ferry over and golf one day which they enjoy.The other days there are other great options for golf in Maui.
